An October walk

A beautiful October day allows us to get out to 'real' Cornwall, out of sight of any modern elements in the landscape. The discovery of a new fogou - well, new to us - at Porthmeor and a walk along to Gurnard's Head is sheer heaven. The sea is flat calm, the sun is hot and our lungs are filled with fresh air.

Harvest festival

We are sure that you are both getting very bored of apples partly because it has been a bumper crop for everyone this year but also because we have been going on and on about our own harvest. Here is the last apple picture of the year: the windfalls from our mature little tree collected over two days last weekend.

Enjoy ... as we did the apples.

Marooned

A 5.7m high tide caused a small amount of confusion this week especially as it occurred round about commuting time. We were cut off for about half an hour each time.

A neighbour's dog and various small children enjoyed it.
